Pointwise User Group Meetings

The Pointwise User Group Meeting is a great opportunity to gather together for several days of sharing best practices, success stories, and expertise on mesh generation and computational fluid dynamics. It is an opportunity to meet virtually everyone at Pointwise to get their insight on meshing technology. We also get to learn from you the challenges you face in the daily application of CFD to real-world problems.
